No-till gardening improves soil health and plant strength but brings new challenges with weed control Perennial weeds like bindweed and thistle need long-term strategies such as tarping to starve out their underground root systems Fast-growing annual weeds spread quickly by seed, making early removal essential to prevent future infestations Cover crops such as rye, oats, and wheat naturally block sunlight and suppress weeds while feeding your soil Mulching with straw, wood chips, or crop residue shields the soil, stops weed seeds from sprouting, and builds long-term fertility

Welcome to episode 243 of Growers Daily! We cover: silage tarps–the good, bad and ugly (because they are definitely a little ugly), what to do for water in wet climates where it's wet in the spring but dry in the summer, and how to pick garlic seed. We are a Non-Profit!

A years-long drought, followed by an entire year's rainfall in a week. With these conditions, succeeding as a farmer in North Texas takes more than just luck. It takes a solid plan, an openness to new ideas, a reliable pool of data and an expert team. John and Amilia Cato have all these and more. Managing more than 10,000 acres just south of the Red River, they have had to adapt to get ahead. And by introducing no-till, soil testing and data analytics, they've transformed a generations-old operation into a modern example of using conservation practices to thrive in an uncertain climate. That's why Nutrien Ag Solutions named them as part of its class of Sustainable Success Champions. So in this episode, we join John and Amilia Cato in the field during their harvest to hear about how they're overcoming challenges, what's working, and how conservation practices are helping them improve their margins.

On this episode of Conservation Ag Update, brought to you by Yetter, Michael Thompson, No-Till Farmer's 2025 Conservation Ag Operator Fellow, shares how he's alleviating compaction with an AerWay unit in Almena, Kan. Plus, no-tillers exchange ideas and strategies for fighting slugs in soybean fields.

In this episode of the podcast, Jeff Ishee chats with Susan Watkins of Watkins Farms in Dinwiddie County Virginia, a 3500 acre farm growing soybeans, corn, and wheat. Susan shares information about the long history of her family far, their transition to cover crops and no till over twenty years ago, and their approach to cover cropping. She shares about the cost and labor savings that have come from transitioning to these practices. Watkins Farms is located in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, which means conservation practices like no-till planting and the use of cover crops have an impact beyond the soil health of the land itself. Farmers play a key role in improving the water quality in the Bay. You can find more info at: https://farmersforsoilhealth.com/success-stories/seven-generations-of-stewardship-with-susan-watkins/ As always, we encourage you to cooperate with other farmers and follow the four core soil health principles: 1) Keep the Soil Covered -- Cover crops are our friends; 2) Minimize soil disturbance -- Practice no-till or gentle tillage in your field or garden as much as possible; 3) Maximize living roots year-round -- to improve biodiversity and life in the soil; and 4) Energize with diversity -- through crop rotation and/or livestock integration. Yes, soil health is a great conversation starter because we can all be 4 The Soil and for the future!  To enjoy recent 4 The Soil blog posts and additional soil health resources, please visit https://www.4thesoil.org/blog and https://www.virginiasoilhealth.org/.
